Heterogeneous Aqueous Solutions Section 17.4
After reading Section 17.4, you should know: • The difference between a suspension, colloid, and solution • How to describe the Tyndall Effect
Suspensions • Mixtures from which particles settle out upon standing. • Heterogeneous • Particle size ~ 1nm • Example – sand and water or muddy water
Colloids • Heterogeneous mixtures containing particles that are intermediate in size between suspensions and solutions • Particle size 1nm – 100nm • Cloudy or milky in appearance • Examples: gelatin, smoke or whipped cream
Colloids demonstrate the Tyndall Effect – scattering of light in all directions
Emulsions – colloidal dispersions of liquids in liquids • Will cause a polar and nonpolar substances to mix
